9 GROTON, Conn. – A change-of-command ceremony for Commander, Submarine Squadron (SUBRON) FOUR took place at the Flasher WWII Memorial in Groton, Connecticut, May 14. Capt. Andrew Miller was relieved by Capt. John Stafford as commodore of 11 submarines homeported in the Groton area during the open-air event, which was limited in capacity due to ongoing COVID-19 considerations. Rear Adm. Rick Seif, Commander, Undersea Warfighting Development Center, presided over the ceremony. "It’s wonderful to be here in the 'Submarine Capital of the World' and an honor to celebrate the SUBRON FOUR change of command with the Millers and the Staffords," Seif said. "Drew absolutely knocked it out of the park as commodore, leading his squadron of 11 fast attack submarines to uniformly superb results, and delivering unmatched undersea combat power to our forward-deployed commanders. As we say farewell to Drew and Jo, we also get to welcome John and Aimee Stafford to Team New London, and I’m excited to see them take the helm and lead the squadron to even greater heights."
